Once a year my daughter and I travel to the Mississippi River Road about an hour away to go to the largest arts and crafts show in the area. We have been doing this annually for almost 20 years. My mom would make the trip with us but the last four years have been without her since she has the Alzehimers and is now in the nursing home. I do miss her doing things with us. Sigh I've posted a picture of the plantation home here, I do hope it is showing up. It's a beautiful antibellum home with a history of ghost and hauntings. It's been featured in several movies and TV shows. It is just one of many large wonderful homes on the River Road to tour. Today the weather was just perfect for the festival. I have to say I love going mainly because I get to spend quality one on one time with my daughter. The prices of things are really out of my reach to say the least. It's all beautifully handmade items that I would love to have in my home and around my yard, but still out of my price range. I do enjoy the food though, LOL. Some of the best Louisiana cooking around. If the picture isn't showing up you can go HERE for more information on it and several other area plantation homes. They are a real treat. So that was my Saturday. How is yours going? Thanks for visiting.

“We do not know how to pray as we should. But the Spirit himself speaks to God for us.” Romans 8:26 You know, we really don’t know what to pray for, do we? What if God had answered every prayer that you ever prayed? Just think who you’d be married to. Just think where you’d be living. Just think what you’d be doing. God loves us so much that sometimes he gives us what we need and not what we ask for. This was one of my devotional emails this morning and it really made me stop and think. The things that I wanted back then is not how my life is now. Thank you God for knowing me better than I know myself. |

I love reading Christian books of all kinds. I also love thrift stores and garage sales. So I've learned to put both loves together and I find these books for pennies. A win win situation. Not long ago I can across a book at a garage sale written by Max Lucado called "The Applause of Heaven". I have several books written by this author so I picked this one up for my collection. Well this morning I was going through my books because I want to donate some to the nursing home that my moms is in. They have a tiny area for books and figured they would enjoy some new ones. While flipping through the new M L book I can across a note at the back of the book. You could tell the note was written by an elderly person. It read, as written: Dear God God has been so good to me. I can never repay him enough for what he has done for me. I will serve you oh Lord untill I can't serve you no more. Then I will serve you in heven. I do hope that will be soon. The nights are so lonely now and I know I'll be lonely no more when I go home to my Lord. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my cause. I have keept the faith. I was told I have served your will Lord. I thank you for letting me serve you. I love you Lord. All I ask is that you look over my children and bless them always. Keep them safe for me..........L Ordoyne Oh my, how sweet is that? It made me cry. I picture a poor older lady who has lost the love of her life and is now ready to go to Heaven to be with him. Ready to leave her children behind due to a broken and lonely heart. How sad is that. I wish her family would have found the note and had not gotten rid of the book. I know that I would keep anything in my mother's handwriting, expecially something like that. Just thought I'd share this...........Kitty I just had a thought. What if she didn't pass away and her family has placed into the same nursing home that mom is in? What if I bring the book there and she picks it up? |

I love this time of year. Autum is my favorite for sure. It brings cooler weather, and down here in south Louisiana anything below 90* is a blessing. It also brings fantastic colors, not much around here tho, but some. Our trees tend to stay green most of the year, but we do have a few that turn those vibrant burst of awesomeness. And the smells, oh the smells. Around here on the sugar cane plantation when grinding starts the smells are wonderful. Some people don't fancy the smell, lol, but I do. They are cooking the sugar and the aroma just fills the air with the memories of my grandma baking something in the oven. To me anyway! LOL So what scents say "Autum" to you? It would have to be pumpkin, oranges, maple syrup, cinnamon, apple cider, things like that.
So what does it for you? What brings back those memories of your mom and grandma cooking in the kitchen on a cool fall day? |
